- Hereditary fructose intolerance is a disorder in which a person lacks the protein needed to break down fructose. Fructose is a fruit sugar that naturally occurs in the body. Man-made fructose is used as a sweetener in many foods, including baby food and drinks.

Galactosemia Galactosemia (British galactosaemia) is a rare genetic metabolic disorder that affects an individual's ability to metabolize the sugar galactose properly.Galactosemia follows an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance that confers a deficiency in an enzyme responsible for adequate galactose degradation. galactosemia test is a blood test (from the heel of the infant) or urine test that checks for three enzymes that are needed to change galactose sugar that is found in milk and milk products into glucose, a sugar that the human body uses for energy. A person with galactosemia doesn't have one of these enzymes.

- This means that children and siblings of a patient with MH susceptibility usually have a 50% chance of inheriting a gene defect for MH, and hence would also be MH susceptible. They, therefore, may develop an MH reaction upon exposure to triggers.

- Hereditary hemochromatosis Haemochromatosis, also spelled hemochromatosis, is a hereditary disease characterized by improper processing by the body of dietary iron which causes iron to accumulate in a number of body tissues, eventually causing organ dysfunction. It is the main iron overload disorder.

Fructose malabsorption Occurrence in patients identified to be suffering symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome is not higher than occurrence in the normal population. However, due to the similarity in symptoms, patients with fructose malabsorption often fit the profile of those with irritable bowel syndrome. In some cases, fructose malabsorption may be caused by several diseases which cause an intestinal damage, such as celiac disease. Fructose malabsorption is not to be confused with hereditary fructose intolerance, a potentially fatal condition in which the liver enzymes that break up fructose are deficient.

Fructose malabsorption Fructose malabsorption, formerly named dietary fructose intolerance (DFI), is a digestive disorder in which absorption of fructose is impaired by deficient fructose carriers in the small intestine's enterocytes. This results in an increased concentration of fructose in the entire intestine.

Learning About Hereditary Hemochromatosis What do we know about hereditary hemochromatosis? Hereditary hemochromatosis (HH) is a genetic disease that alters the body's ability to regulate iron absorption. If correctly diagnosed, HH is easily and effectively treated, but if untreated, it can lead to severe organ damage.

- Background. 1  Galactosemia is a genetic condition that causes an inability to break down a sugar called galactose. 2  Patients with galactosemia cannot break down galactose, and as a result unhealthy levels of galactose may build up in the body.

- Genetics and ankylosing spondylitis. Each rheumatic disease has its own cause(s), including a certain genetic background. One of the strongest examples of this genetic influence on a rheumatic disease is the connection between ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and a gene called HLA-B27. Ankylosing spondylitis is an inflammatory arthritis affecting primarily the spine that begins in teenagers and young adults.

Familial hypercholesterolemia Familial hypercholesterolemia. [edit on Wikidata] Familial hypercholesterolemia (abbreviated FH, also spelled familial hypercholesterolaemia) is a genetic disorder characterized by high cholesterol levels, specifically very high levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL, bad cholesterol), in the blood and early cardiovascular disease.

What causes galactosemia? A missing enzyme needed to break down galactose in a person's body causes galactosemia. This disease is an inherited genetic mutation called an autosomal recessive condition.f both parents are carriers, there is a 25% chance their child will have galactosemia. There are three different types of galactosemia. Each one is caused by a mutation in a different gene. Classic galactosemia is the most common form of this disorder, and the most severe.

Genes and human disease Thalassaemia is a blood related genetic disorder which involves the absence of or errors in genes responsible for production of haemoglobin, a protein present in the red blood cells. Each red blood cell can contain between 240 and 300 million molecules of haemoglobin.

Dermatologic Manifestations of Hemochromatosis Hereditary hemochromatosis (HH) is a fairly common disease in whites and is a result of iron deposition in hepatocytes, myocardial fibers, and other visceral cells. The disease is usually inherited in an autosomal recessive manner and is caused by mutations in the HFE gene.

Pancreatitis Diet: Whatâs a Pancreatitis Diet? Galactosemia is an inherited disorder that prevents a person from processing the sugar galactose, which is found in many foods. Galactose also exists as part of another sugar, lactose, found in all dairy products.reatment requires the strict exclusion of lactose/galactose from the diet. A person with galactosemia will never be able to properly digest foods containing galactose. There is no chemical or drug substitute for the missing enzyme at this time.

- A Genetic Disorder Causing Build Up Of Triglycerides And Chylomicrons. Familial chylomicronemia syndrome (FCS) is a very rare hereditary condition in which individuals lack properly functioning lipoprotein lipase (LPL), an enzyme that clears triglycerides from plasma. The disruption of the enzyme activity leads to very high concentrations of triglycerides and particularly chylomicrons in the plasma (chylomicronemia).
